1. The genus Arcypteris Underw. (Dictyopteris Presl sensu Pee) is maintained as different from Tectaria Cav. and redefined. It is considered very closely related to Pleocnemia Presl. 2. Four species are recognized. 3. The following new combinations are made: Arcypteris irregularis (Presl) Holttum (basinym: Polypodium irregulare Presl), A. macrodonta (Fee) Holttum (basi- nym: Dictyopteris macrodonta Presl ex Fee), A. brongniariii (Bory) Holttum (basinym: Polypodium brongniartii Bory), and A. gigantea (Ces.) Holttum (basinym: Nephrodium giganteum Ces.). 4s. Reductions to synonymy are: Aspidium difforme Blume to Arcypteris irre- gularis (Presl) Holtt., and Polypodium pteroides Presl to A. brongniartii (Bory) Holtt.

Barchewitz reached the islet of Leti,in the southwestern Moluccas,on September 2, 1714;he returned to Europe in September 1720, having represented the East India Company on Leti for six years.Like so many of his contemporaries he wrote a book on his lifes adventures.This work appeared in 1730 and proved a success. A second, slightly enlarged, edition followed in 1751,entitled "Neu-vermehrte Ost-Indianische Reise- Beschreibung."Barchewitz is the earliest author on the natural history of Leti and -he paid attention to a number of plants.The present note is mainly a survey of the botany contained in his book.Ernst Christoph Barchewitz was born at the close of the 17th century at Grosz-Sommerda near Erfurt.He was bound apprentice to a tawer at Erfurt but soon preferred to travel ("Wanderschaft") with his brother to Holland.He visited the larger towns,learned at the Hague the art of dressing and the barbers craft,and became the valet de chambre of the Imperial Ambassador,Baron von Heems,whom he accompanied to Austria and the southern Netherlands.He ended his service at Delft Where he enlisted with the East India Company.As a soldier he embarked at Hellevoetsluis on the "Voorburg," sailing April 1, 1711.The treatment on board he judged to be fair; his only objection was that he had to drink water whereas wine would have seemed very suitable.After a stay at Batavia (December 20,1711 till January 29, 1712),he was garrisoned on Banda, where he remained till August 15, 1714. He left when he was appointed Corporal of Leti.The following pertains to the second edition of Barchewitzs book, the pages referred to are cited between brackets.All quotations have been translated.

Amongst the lichens sent by the late Mr C. C. Schroter at Tjibodas (West Java),a peculiar blue-grey species drew my attention.At first sight I intended to assign it provisionally to Collemaceae indeterminatae,but on closer examination I doubted whether it was really a species of Collemaceae.Therefore.I examined it more carefully, with the following result.The granular thallus grows in smaller to larger patches over mosses,lichens, and detritus on bark.Soredia and isidia are absent and the thallus is not surrounded by a dark hypothalline line.The granular appearance of the thallus is caused by the relatively large gonidia, which belong to Stygonemataceae.The yellowish green cells are rounded,angular to semilunate, 8â12µ, wide and 10â15 µ long; one or more of them are enclosed within a gelatinous,colourless to pale citrine sheeth 4â6µ thick. These clusters of gonidia are held together by the thalline hyphae constituting in this way a homoiomeric thallus.There is some resemblance with the thallus of Moriolaceae but in this family the gonidia are totally surrounded with a network of short hyphae lying close together.In the thallus of Cyanoporina, as I call this new lichen, such a network does not exist.The hyphae lie irregularly around the gonidia and cover them but partly. These gonidial hyphae are 2â3µ thick and possess very short cells. The thalline hyphae are 3 µ,thick, with inconspicuous lumen.Even with the aid of a dissecting microscope the perithecia are almost invisible.Most of them are covered by the granules of the thallus.Yet the thallus is abundantly fruiting and in sections perithecia are always present. They are globose, 110â130µ in diameter, pale fulvescent to yellowish, with a pseudoparenchymatic wall 10â12 µ thick, composed of densely interwoven hyphae. I could, not discover a pore.The paraphyses are diffluent and only fragments were found.

 1. The present notes on Teijsmanniodendron are based on a study of the specimens from Herbarium Bogoriense and the Herbarium of the Singapore Botanic Garden. 2. The taxonomic value of the principal characters and their variation are discussed. Each of the species recognized is annotated.3. A delimitation and subdivision of the genus in two sections, Plurifoliolatae Kosterm. and Unifoliolatae Kosterm., is proposed. 4. A key to the 12 species and 1 variety distinguished, is included. 5. One new species is provisionally described (but not named), and one new variety, Teijsmanniodendron pteropodum var. auriculatum Kosterm., is published. 6. The following new combinations are made: Teijsmanniodendron coriaceum B. Clarke) Kosterm., T. hollrungii (Warb.) Kosterm., T. holophyllum (Bak.) Kosterm., T.novoguineense (Kan. & Hatus.) Kosterm., T. sarawakanum (H. H. W. Pears.)Kosterm., T. smilacifolium (H. H. W. Pears.) Kosterm., and T. subspieatum (Hallier f.) Kosterm.7.. The genus Xerocarpa H. 3. Lam (non Spach) is rejected; its only species,X. avicenniaefoliola H. J. Lam, is referred to Teijsmanniodendron ahernianum (Merr.)Bakh. In addition, the following reductions are made: Teijsmanniodendron monophyllum Kurata = T. hollrungii (Warb.) Kosterm.; Vitex bankae H. J. Lam = T.ahernianum (Merr.) Bakh., V. bogoriensis H. J. Lam = T. ahernianum (Merr.) Bakh.;V. koordersii H. J. Lam t= T. pteropodum (Miq.) Bakh.; V. tetragona Hallier f. =T. sarawakanum (H. H. W. Pears.) Kosterm.; V. venosa H. J. Lam = T. coriaceum (C. B. Clarke) Kosterm. Possible identity of T. longifolium (Merr.) Merr. and T.bogoriense is suggested: the identity of T. simplicifolium Merr. and T. smilacifolium(H. H-, W. Pears.) Kosterm. is indicated as probable.8. Vitex subspicata Hallier f. and V. holophylla Bak., included by Lam in Vitae hollrungii Warb., are reinstated as distinct species of Teijsmanniodendron.

1. The present paper is the first of a series intended to deal from a nomen clatural point of view with all the generic names proposed for Hymenomycetes.For each name the following items are considered: (i) its etymology and gender, (ii) the original scope of the corresponding genus, and, in case of the name being- an isonym,also of the group covered by its basinym; (iii) the type species, which when not originally designated, is selected; (iv) its basinym, synisonyms,homonyms, typonyms,and variant spellings, if any, are indicated; (v) its status under the Rules is determined;and (vi) supplementary remarks are given when these are deemed useful.2. This first instalment deals with "Cyphellaceae," a group defined in a conventional, rather descriptive, manner, not as a taxonomic unit. 3. A new generic name, Stromatoscypha Donk, is introduced for Porothelium(Pr. ex Fr.) Fr.4. The following new combinations are made: Aleurodiscus digitalis (A. & S.ex Fr.) Donk [basinym: Cyphella digitalis (A. & S.) ex Fr.], and Stromatoscypha fimbriata (Pers. ex Fr.) Donk [basinym: Polyporus fimbriatus (Pers.) ex Fr.].

1. In the following pages an account of the genus Viburnum in Malaysia is presented.2. The distribution of its species is briefly discussed and a map relating to it added.3. The main part of the present paper consists of keys to the sections and species, followed by a systematic treatment of the 16 species admitted for the region.4. Three new subsections are proposed, viz. Viburnum subsect. Punctata Kern,subsect. Sambucina Kern, and subsect. Lutescentia Kern. Viburnum subseries Coriacea Maxim, is reduced to the rank of a subsection. 5. Three species and two varieties are described as new, viz. Viburnum amplificatum Kern, V. clemensae Kern, V. hispidulum Kern, V. coriaceum, var. longiflorutn Kern, and V. sambucinum var. subglabrum Kern. 6. The following species are reduced to the rank of varieties: Viburnum floribundum Merr. has become V. luzonicum var. floribundum (Merr.) Kern, and V. sinuatum Merr. has become V. luzonicum var. sinuatum (Merr.) Kern. 7. The following reductionsto synonymy are made: Viburnum longistamineum Ridl. to V. sambucinum- var. subglabrum Kern; V. sumatranum Miq., V.villosum Ridl., and V. inopinatum Craib all to V. sambucinum var. tovientosum Hallier f.;V. forbesii Fawc. partly to V. sambucimim Bl., partly to V. coriaceum BL; and V. zippelii Miq. to V. japonicum (Thunb.) Spr.8. Emended descriptions of Viburnum beccarii Gamble and of V. junghuhnii Miq. are given.

  1. The genus Pleocnemia Presl is redefined and differentiated from Tectaria Cav. and Arcypteris Underw., the latter genus being very closely related to Pleocnemia. 2. The configuration of the perispore proved to be of importance for the characterisation of the .species. In this regard three types are distinguished, perispore 1 forming crisped anastomosing wings, perispore consisting of many slender spines, and, an intermediate type, perispore forming many small separate wings.3. Tentatively 15 species are recognized. Of these, Pleocnemia winitii Holttum,P. acuminata Holttum, P. pleiotricha Holttum, P. presliana Holttum, P. dimidiolobata Holttum, P. tripinnata Holttum, and P. seranensis Holttum are described as new, aa well as one variety, P. conjugata var. elatior Holttum. 4.The following new combinations are made:P.hemiteliiformis (Racib.)Holttum (basinym:Pleocnemia leuzeana var. hemiteliaeformis Racib.),P.olivacea (Copel.)Holttum (basinym: Tectaria olivacea Copel.),P. kingii (Copel.) Holttum (basinym: Tectaria kingii Copel.), and P. chrysotricha (Bak.) Holttum (basinym: Nephrodium chrysotrichum Bak.). 5. Reductions to synonymy are: Pleocnemia javanica Presl to P. conjugata (Bl.) Presl, and Dictyopteris compitalis v. A. v. R. to P. hemiteliiformis (Racib.) Holtt
